2v2 with fellow 2+2'er bluef0x.

bluef0x calls GG 10 minutes into a 16 minute game (I

you, bluef0x) after his bunker rush fails. Meanwhile, my bunker rush cripples my opponent and I 1v2 them for a long time.

Beat: One teammate DC'ed early in a 3v3 game and my other teammate left shortly thereafter, leaving me high and dry before I could even say not to give up. Good riddance though, they had not even set rally points on their command center and nexus.

Brag: I utilized their economies to create lots of rax and a badass MMM army that won despite opponents whoring banelings. I love using the dropships to save tons of units from banelings.

Variance: The opponents that I beat said **** terran OP, not realizing that they never really killed the economies of my absent teammates when they tried harassing.

Anytime I'd push out, they'd drop attack, then have a secondary VR army (I was playing against all Protoss). The one AI that was left was always on the other side of the map so anytime I pushed out I was always leaving my base defenseless.

Any advice on how to do it? Particular advice for Protoss? The only reason I had a chance was because I was playing Terran and was able to float to an island to buy some time.

On Insane they just go so fast. I'm barely getting my second gateway up while some of them are already getting Immortals. I don't know how I can go any faster when I never have any minerals, meaning, I'm using them as fast as I can.

They mine faster than you. I think 1.25 times faster or maybe 1.5 times so it's impossible to keep up unless you expand a bunch.

I just beat it last night doing the BCS tactic. I went 11 scvs then CC. Lifted both CCs to the island. With my other SCV I build a CC next to the other island. Lifted there and had 4 bases going. Then just went a ton of BCS. I had nearly 25 bcs fully upgraded and just raped the toss ground force.

Not sure how to beat an all toss insane FFA. Maybe doing something really cheap or getting DTs (they get early detection). I normally get raped by insane AI unless I do some sort of cheese or do some ******ed expansion.

I had a lot of trouble in the 3 zerg allied AI vs. 4 insane AI. Ended up going for the off sunken colony plan, and quitting when the AI attacked it. Then when it worked, fast expanding and going brood lords and attacking with 5-6 of them whilst enjoying 0.5 FPS due to the huge roach fights.

Beat: Up to 2695 achievement points. Everything left is a grind or impossible. 20 SCV kills with raven turrets? You'd need to be playing a complete ******. Guess I gotta play the ****ty top/down shooter in single player & finish everything on brutal now...

Edit: Or, you know, play some real games.

i did 3 zerg vs 4 insane by cheesing, 8 pooling and raping 1 of the guys and letting the computer do the rest of the hard work. i beat all the 4v4 insanes by doing some sort of cheese. as toss i did cannon rush. as terran i did bunker rush. insane still sucks vs a ton of cheese.

Just had a scare.

Was screwing around playing a 5 medium AI FFA. I won, obviously. Quit the game, back to my desktop and my screen went slightly staticy/screwy like the pixels of my monitor were having a seizure. I thought my monitor **** the bed. Restarted my computer and it's fine now. :-/

pretty sure they mine normal minerals as if they were gold minerals. Not sure if there is anything else.

Yeah I know I think its in my top 5 of bad things I've done so far in sc2.

I just destroyed his army and was countering trying to end the game there and then and assumed he didn't have a lot left and that I would overwhelm whatever was there. Obviously not.

****ing sc. So frustrating to lose in this game. Just had a zerg v zerg match in practice league.All is fine and dandy but then he shows up with mutas at my base. Looking at the replay he hid that **** in the corner where i couldn't see. What a clever *******. So anyways, I counter back with mutas. Then suddenly the ****er shows up with broodlords&corrupters and it's gg from there. SIGH!

Also after the 1st muta attack I nydus banling his ass but yet still lose.

Brag: After spending eternity in the Gold league I just jumped to Platinum for 2 games and am now in Diamond! ~640 points and good enough for #2 in my league that has 6 players in it

Beat/Variance: Time for some pain as I try to figure out how to beat diamond level terrans and mid/upper diamond level toss and zerg.

Another point that could be made is that it's practice league. Practice league is all about trying new things and getting owned sometimes and learning from it.
